abstract = {This work applies a factor analysis with VARIMAX rotation to develop a bibliometric indicator,
named the Weighted Factor Index, in order to derive a new classification for journals
belonging to a certain category, alternative to the one provided by the Journal Impact
Factor. For this, 16 metrics from three different databases (Web of Science, Scopus and
SCImago Journal Rank) are considered. The Weighed Factor Index entails the advantage
of incorporating and summarizing information from all the indicators; so as to test its performance,
it was applied to rank journals belonging to the category Information Science &
Library Science.},
